Hey guys
I found a totaled off 2003 mach 1. and placed a bid. I'f i get it. what should i take off of it? i want the engine for sure. should i take the tranny too? the car and motor has 80,000km's on it. (Canada). is there any other parts that i should strip off to put onto my gt? i plan on getting a 6-speed in the future and before i do the engine swap i'm going to be putting in forged internals..(What kind do you recomend?)

Thanks all
mike

why was it totalled?

 

[MikeJones]

looks like someone sure hated the guy and beat the **** out of the exterior all the way around. the back black spoiler was broken off at the end. windows looked all fine though. interior is perfect..

Get the gauge cluster.

 

[Boostang]

youll need everythingfrom the timing cover back.. throttle cable and little accersories like that.

The seats in the Mach 1 are awesome, as are the guages. Is the shaker still in good order?

 

[MikeJones]

yes it appears to be in perfect condition also. i plan to kb' it in the future so i'll be selling it.

 

[Shaun13GT/CS]

Try to get the seats. Mach 1 seats are awsome. I almost got all 4 for $300...but were sold a day before...FML

 

[MikeJones]

Haha **** son, well i got leather in my car atm. but will see if the seats are nicer., anybody have a clue if they're lighter? and looked at the instrument cluster.. sooo sexy! def will be taking that off the car. i hope i win the bid to this car.. i hear the brakes are almost like cobras?

 

[B0B]

the brakes are the same as the cobra.. just don't say cobra on the calipers. that would be sick to get that motor and put it in your GT

 

[MikeJones]

Great, this is gonna save me a ton of money. and i get to upgrade sooner. i'f all goes right the motor will be installed next winter. i might actually make some profit off the rims/tires and misc parts, tranny, rear end...

i agree bob, i found the perfect GT a couple months ago and now i find this. this is going to be alot of fun..

 

[Boostang]

tell me when u wanna sale the rear end.. ill take the biatch!

hide the kb under the shaker. if your getting a black one or a black whipple

 

[Boostang]

hell yea.. itd be a sleeper until you punch it and you hear "MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!"

The seats are the epitome of plushness. They've got a kickass retro look with some really nice stitching.

Reloaded did this with his car although its just the stock heaton.

 

[pyschopath76]

man i want me some of those Mach 1 seats, those things are nice!!

 

[MustangBryan03]

The Interior, Brakes and shaker hood are really worth it.....

 

[MikeJones]

tell me when u wanna sale the rear end.. ill take the biatch!

Sure thing. just come pick it up

 

[MikeJones]

Should i keep my tranny? or use the machs?

i would totally hide the kb under the shaker! is it possible to use my stock hood? or will i have to use the machs hood and paint it?

Is there a write up anywhere on the swap?

What type of forged internals would you guys recommend for a max 800hp
